Every year, young writers share what it means to seek belonging in America through American Immigration Council’s Creative Writing Competition. These #ImmigrantStories highlight how, for many, belonging isn’t a given—it’s something we must build, moment by moment, story by story. And when people hear them, their minds change. That’s why we tell these stories.  In 2024 alone, our narrative and culture change work reached over 50 million people, challenging misconceptions and bringing #truth to the national conversation. Research shows that when people engage with authentic immigrant experiences, both positive perceptions of immigration and welcoming behaviors increase.  Now more than ever, it is imperative this work continues. On June 20th, we’re bringing together advocates, business leaders, and policy voices at the 2025 Immigration Impact Reception—a night to celebrate the power of immigrant voices and the work that’s shaping a welcoming future for all. Be in the room where change happens. Join us in Denver. 🔗Register here: https://lnkd.in/eqEKzvp2
